No dribbles? I love it. That’s efficient.
Very efficient. I will explain this. Iowa post player coach Jan Jensen averaged 66 points as a senior in Iowa High School 6 on 6 in her senior season. It was really a 3 on 3 game on either side of the court as there were 3 offensive players, and 3 defensive players on each side, and offensive and defensive players stayed on their own side of the court. This game was played for over 70-years. There was a huge following for the game with the state tournament selling out when I was a kid. This 6 on 6 girls BBall game was played in Iowa and Oklahoma. Offensive players could only dribble 2x. Jan Jensen is quite tall and being the offensive side in high school. She knows the value of tall girls not dribbling. Iowa has had good post players under her tutelage, in addition to good guard play. Megan Gustafson led the NCAA D-1 in scoring 4-5 years ago for 2 seasons.
As for this coming Friday, Iowa's tallest starting post player is Czinano at 6'2", and the 6th man in is 6'2" Hannah Stuelke. Both are very good but are not near as tall as the front line players on S. Carolina.
There is a 2nd teamer for Iowa, O'Grady, who more rarely plays, at 6'4", and is less athletic than Czinano and Stuelke.
Iowa needs help in this Friday semifinal game. Luck, crowd, Caitlin Clark hitting logo 3s, and also driving and forcing fouls on S. Carolina, and Gabbie Marshall and McKenna Warnock hitting more simple 3s at a high % will help.
